Consistency creates community — that’s the Take 3 difference! In this three-week session option, campers get to know and enjoy the same groupmates and counselors for three consecutive weeks. Campers will experience the full range of activities with extra bonding time.

Campers will participate in fun-filled activities with a perfect balance between indoor and outdoor activities. This program is exclusively for rising PreK campers who will be 4 years old by September 1, 2026. Campers must use the bathroom independently, manage their clothing, and clean themselves.
